2014 NoDak Waterfowl Reports

Sure hope I can look to some of you folks for some help with this one.

I'm planning to bring my two sons, and my son-in-law "to be" out to North Dakota for some waterfowl hunting this October, and maybe into November if it stays open that long.

We'd originally planned to come out for a 4-day weekend over the 23rd thru the 26th, but my future son-in-law can't dodge out of work that weekend, so we're now targeting the weekend of Oct 30th thru Nov 2nd. This early cold weather we're having right now has me worried.

I've seen the NoDak sloughs freeze up almost overnight in early November, and everything is all but gone with the frozen water.

I'm really walking the fence on whether we should move our 4-day weekend up to the 16th thru the 19th, but I'm also thinking that might be pretty early to catch the big push.

If folks are okay with sharing some up to date intell, I'd sure appreciate some reports, even from non-hunters, on what you're seeing moving thru the state.

Thanks in advance. And yes, I am also watching the DU migration reports as well. Thanks again. I look forward to hearing how everyone is doing thru October and into November.

Just got back from NoDak yesterday. We hunted the Devil's Lake area and we were only a few birds short of our 4 man limit for the 3 days that we hunted. Did well in the wheat fields every morning and we didn't even scout for the fields that the birds were using heavily. Shot quite a few mallards and pintails as well as gadwall. Beans were coming down while we were there and corn is all still up. Water levels were good too. I thought there were a pretty good number of local birds there and it wasn't too tough to shoot a limit. We will be going back the 17th through the 23rd and I would be glad to share reports with you if you're there at the same time.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
